  1. So sorry to hear this, speedy recovery and hopefully they find the other rider
  2. Found this photo in my collection of the snow pile at the Zehr's parking lot, tallest pile I've ever seen, hopefully next year, must find the right hat....lol
  3. Thanks @LuvMyViper but no Youtube.......guess that means more people will have to come out next year to see all the action.....
  4. only wish I knew how to post a video of one of the auctions......
  5. We had an amazing day, there were vintage sleds, a bonfire for the kids to toast marshmallows to compliment their hot chocolate, bean bag tossing, etc. Our auction was a huge success and the professional auctioneer added to the lively action. Many of our local businesses and merchants donated some great items for the auction. Many many thanks to everyone that came out, watching people bid up to $70.00 for a hat from a local business was so great to see as everyone knew the money was for a great cause.
  6. Thanks for asking. I thought I repost what Josh Fuller wrote on FB. Photos later, Super Bowl first Words cannot describe the overwhelming amount of support we received yesterday at Bervie Community Centre. Although, we couldn't ride the awesome trails in the area we ended up having one of my most memorable days I have ever had in my snowmobiling career, from looking at all the "Old school" snowmobiles and just talking about memorable moments we have all had snowmobiling. I consider me a strong man, but I tell you when members of Bervie Community Centre donated to our cause.... It brought me to tears!!! From the bottom of my heart I thank you all for your support!!!
  7. Dont forget the vintage show and shine starts tomorrow at 1pm, auction at 4pm, bar and food available starting at 1pm
  8. Sad news, it was a nice stop, hopefully it wasn't vandalism
  9. Bergstrom triple points with ski savers. Really notice how well they bite on icy conditions, wish I could say the same about my IceRipper
  10. Mother nature is working against us, our trails are now closed to protect what we have. The Sledheads for Kids event is still on for this Saturday Feb 11th, but instead of the trail ride we are hosting a vintage sled displays. If you have an older sled bring it over, there is plenty of parking. Auction starts at 4pm for goodies donated by local merchants and our kitchen will open for our famous Bervie Wings.
  11. Just got back from a 5 day trip, 3 of the nights were spent at the Riversdale Resort. Rooms were refurbished, clean and warm, staff were friendly and happy to see us. Restaurant food was good, and they had plenty of beer, 2 pool tables and a few dart boards. Plenty of parking and no problem leaving our trailer there while we did 2 saddlebag runs, one to Mattawa and one to Azilda. I will go back next year brian
  12. Just seen so many Cdn companies purchased by American firms, then they slowly demise as the profitable sections get moved to the US leaving the rest behind. Then the parent company says the Cdn branch isn't profitable and they are closing them down. This being a retail store, I doubt it will follow the trends of a manufacturing business, but who knows. Look how crappy Tim Hortons has become now that they have been sold several times.....now owned by a Brazilian firm I think.
  13. well I wonder how long this will last.
  14. just booked 2 rooms for next week, will give an update, but the website photos look good
  15. reviving last years thread.....still haven't been to this area, group of 4 guys considering this place again.....any reviews besides the 3 on trip advisor?
  16. The Bervie Community Centre is proud to say we are hosting an event for the Bluewater Town and Country Snowmobile Club and Sledheads 4 Kids! February 11, 2023 they are doing a Family Snowmobile Fun Run beginning and ending here. Sledheads 4 Kids is an organization raising funds for Amici Camp Charity which sends hundreds of less fortunate kids to summer camps across Ontario every year. We would like to hold an auction after their ride to help raise funds to support both Sledheads 4 Kids and our local Snowmobile Club. If anyone or any business would like to donate an item towards the auction, please contact us either through FB messenger, or by email at berviecc@gmail.com . For more info on S4K you can look them up at www.sledheads4kids.ca , on FB, or on Instagram. Keep tuned for more details to come, this will be a fun day!! Bluewater Town and Country Snowmobile Club Sledheads 4 Kids
  17. Don't forget, tomorrow is Wednesday, that means you can get the best wings in Bervie at the Bervie Community Centre.....5:30 to closing
  18. Yes I do, its still brand new never been touched by human hands.....lol You're probably right, but if its down to 73% when its 6C outside, it will only be worse in colder temps. I hook this battery up to an Optimate 3+ smart charger regularly off season, that I also use on my motorcycle in the winter. I'm thinking the physical abuse and vibration a sled battery sees shortens their lifespan faster. This is the first time I removed the battery from the sled as I have a SAE pigtail permanently installed (mostly for heated gear that I don't use), and I clean the contacts yearly coating them with dielectric grease. I'm glad I pulled the battery as the lower casing shows sever fretting damage from the metal bracket that keeps it in place. There must be a small amount of free movement of the battery in situ causing the damage. I would hate to see the casing crack this winter and spill acid all over. New battery is on order and I will sleep better knowing my wallet is once again lighter......lol thanks brian
  19. sideways photo at no extra charge
  20. Reviving an old thread Canadian Tire has digital battery testers on sale this week for $47.00. I was suspicious of my battery this summer despite occasionally putting a smart trickle charger on it monthly. The tester shows battery SOH State of Health at 73%, definitely won't be any good for very cold days. Got three riding seasons and 15,000+kms out of it https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/motomaster-digital-battery-tester-analyzer-12v-0113020p.html?loc=plp
  21. Dec 21st is our last wing night for 2022, we are closed the 28th and reopening on Jan 4th. Last chance in 2022 to get the best wings in Bervie......
  22. Its not that we have a preference for Doos, the other brand of sled wouldn't start....lol
